Yoga is not only for the physical body,
people practice yoga for many reasons to feel more
connected, to quiet the mind and to strengthen the body. It
is a mind – body practice that enhances physical and mental
fitness, as well as spiritual well – being.
Yogis view
that the mind and the body are one and that if it is given
the right tools and taken to the right environment, it can
find harmony and heal itself. Yoga therefore is considered
therapeutic. It helps you become more aware of your body's
posture, alignment and patterns of movement. As people
worldwide know the benefits of yoga, it makes the body more
flexible and helps you relax even in the midst of a stress
stricken environment. This is one of the foremost reasons
why people want to start
practicing yoga
- to feel fitter, be more
energetic, be happier and peaceful.
The main aim of yoga that we are trying to achieve is to
unite our soul with the super consciousness which is “Our
God”. Our physical and mental healthiness is essential in
order to reach this target.
Yoga emphasizes good health and
prevention of illnesses and diseases. Yoga is also used as a
therapy to help us recover and over come illness and
stresses caused by a hectic lifestyle. Our bodies and minds
reflect the stress, tension and depression that we subject
it to everyday.

Pranayama -
a short introduction
The term Pranayama
is a word from the ancient Indian language Sanskrit. It
refers to the regulation of our breathing activity and
to controlling our life force. We all know that none of
us can live for longer than a few minutes without
breathing, yet many people either don't breath well or
are unaware of what it means to breath properly. With a
bad breathing habit a person only utilizes a fraction of
their body's potential life force.
Prana is an energy or a form of life force which we can
perceive in nature: for example wind is an energy that
we don't see, yet we know it exists because of the
movement of the trees or grass etc. Similarly
Prana is also invisible but we can still perceive
it, for instance when we put our fingers in front of our
nose and feel our breath. Therefore our breath is an
external manifestation of
Prana. When we learn to control our breath, then we
can regulate the subtle energies in our body and also
control our mind.
In Yoga there are several breathing exercises that
harmonize the flow of
Prana in our body. There are five different forms of
Prana in our body which regulate various bodily
functions; Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana and Samana.
There are three different forms of Pranayama
exercises: Puraka, Kumbhaka and Rechaka.
Puraka is inhalation,
Kumbhaka is holding the breath and rechaka is
exhalation.
